Cyberpunk 2077: Review

  Cyberpunk 2077: Review -  The Best of Times, The Worst of Times My phone rings. Dino, a high-level fixer in Night City, chats me up about how some rich corpo got robbed by a local gang and how they need someone to reacquire their goods, promising cash and street cred.

New players intrigued by the radical changes at Bungie and old, disenchanted guardians alike are logging in to check out the current PvP and PvE sandboxes. And whether they're engaging with the insidious forces of darkness or duking it out in the Crucible, some of the best tools of destruction to utilize are the exotic weapons. With the ever evolving meta and a vast collection of exotic specific quests, it can be tough to decide which weapons are worth pursuing and which ones are better off vaulted.  With that in mind I've put together a complete list of all sixty-one exotic weapons in the game and ranked them based on a variety of criteria.
